Be it then or now, gaming has always been fun for all. The Microsoft store is filled with a variety of Windows 10 games, but to play them in a plane or train in an offline mode, you need to know about its complete settings.

There are a couple of games like Minecraft, Forza 7, Quantum Break that requires an internet connection to confirm whether you own the particular game or not. But riding in planes and trains become boring and we need something to entertain ourselves and that time we think it would be great if we can play Windows 10 games in offline mode.
